Butthole Surfers: The Hole Truth and Nothing Butt
A documentary about the Butthole Surfers—the deliberately abrasive punk band that spent decades making noise, art, and trouble—screens at SIFF Cinema Uptown in Queen Anne on Sunday, September 13. If you've ever wondered what drove a group to name themselves after a bodily orifice and actually live up to it, here's your answer.
